Blogging and learning: Responding to Vic’s comment
^_^ VICTORIA ^_^
In answer to your interest in the group assignment about our ‘blogging for learning’ companies all being IT companies… some IT companies don’t like it when their employees blog. According to Zawodny, an employee at Google was actually fired in 2005 – mere weeks after he was employed – because he was blogging about his work at the organisation.
Also, there are companies who are not in IT who use blogging as well. For instance, General Motors have blogs for each area of their products. While this is a purely corporate blog and therefore has less learning capability for the organisation, it is an excellent PR tool and can be applied as a learning tool for customers.
However, I think that in general, an IT company would be more open to using e-learning tools because they would have a greater understanding of and appreciation for technology.
